Superb Fairywren - Malurus cyaneus by Jono Dashper Wildlife https://flic.kr/p/2nmfK8S

Went out into the forest today to ask for this guy’s permission. An illustration I started in June is now finished and ready for you to see. My first art print in over a year! I just wanted to ask him if it was ok to release the print to try and help his species & habitat survive the Anthropocene. He granted me permission after I showed him the illustration but it came with a couple of conditions. He said under no circumstances can any new trees be used to make the pulp of the prints. I told him about recycled paper. He also said he wants me to give a few bucks to @birdlifeoz as they’ve been good to him. I agreed to both his terms and after that little negotiation I came home to prepare his portrait and make the necessary arrangements for the recycled paper and conservation efforts. — Mental, I know, but my first print in a year will be available in the next couple of days. Back again, #ZeroDeforestation and #ConservationArt are working side by side to promote nature. — Superb Fairy-wren 🔎(Malurus cyaneus). ⏳Conservation Status: Least Concern. 🗺Endemicity: SE Australia. 📷 St Andrews Beach, Victoria. — #fairywren #superbfairywren #maluruscyaneus #birdsofaustralia #birdlife #birds #birdphotography #ornithology (at Greens Bush - Mornington Peninsula National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHufx7xFgZS/?igshid=1ou2xcbauuw7s

Scanning over the final lines like a government drone scans the outer suburbs of Melbourne.

After brushing up on my colour techniques today it feels good to be dealing in #blacklines. Mmm...sweet, delicate blackness. 🏴 — — — #penandink #fairywren #superbfairywren #maluruscyaneus #birdart #illustration #birdsofaustralia #birds #endemicbirds https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCI3SmDAia/?igshid=11q2tkfof305q

Coming back to an illustration with a 3-month gap means that birds come & go and ink details become more important. ✍️ — — — — #fairywren #superbfairywren #maluruscyaneus #birdart #illustration #birdsofaustralia #birds #penandink #endemicbirds https://www.instagram.com/p/CE8xOXNDda3/?igshid=1q4td368eep7h
